August, September and October’s Craft Club.

At Craft Club over the next two to three months we are going to work towards constructing and decorating, from scratch, a lovely mini album (7 x7 inches cover 6x6 inches for the internal pages). 
Our first session will focus on the basic construction (as seen in the photo below). 

The first session will cost £18 per person. This will cover your base boards and all the card to build the book cover and pages. Subsequent sessions will cost just £5 and attendees will be responsible for providing their own decorative papers (which can be bought in the shop if you don’t have any yet.) You can choose any style, theme or design you like. 

Dates: Wednesday 14th August. 1pm till 4pm approx.

*Attendees should endeavour to bring a basic paper crafting kit with them which should include a paper trimmer, scorer, scissors, ruler, glue, double sided tape. 


Septembers Mixed Media Class.

Halloween is approaching and some of us like to add a bit of seasonal home decor to our houses. So why not bring along a plastic skull or pumpkin to our class and decorate it?
I have to admit, I like things like this all year round and the skull is half way between spooky and pretty.
These are decorations you can bring out every year. The pumpkins look really nice in a cluster. We will be using gesso and metallique waxes in pretty colours to decorate our flower and leaf adorned objects. 
**The skull in the example is about 6 inches tall so you’ll need something similar in size so the flowers and embellishments are roughly to the right scale. 
You will need to bring a skull or pumpkin with you as well as a basic kit (paint brushes, apron, crafters heat tool etc)  

Date: Saturday 14th September. 10:30am till 4pm approx.

tea, coffee and chocolate included. Attendees will need to provide their own lunch.

*Booking essential as places are limited. Please pop in to the shop or phone 07762 932100 to book your place. 

Cost £25  

 

October’s Mixed Media Class.

For October /Spooktober I’ve brought back the huge ‘Magical Spell book’ class. Lots of people who wanted to do it last time missed out so here’s your second chance. 
I use large encyclopaedias or photo albums for this project and you can also use those big boxes that look like a book that you can sometimes pick up at places like TK Maxx. But whatever you bring it needs to be at least 12 to 15 inches tall and should be fabric or paper cover . It mustn’t have a plastic coating of any kind on the cover.

Date: Saturday 12th October. 10:30am till 4pm approx.

Cost £43 per person

*Booking essential as places are limited. Please pop in to the shop or phone 07762 932100 to book your place.
